May eternal oneness give you the peace of knowing that all is well,

empowered with loving thoughts and care for others...

When one tugs at a single thing in nature, one finds it attached to the rest of the world...

May you expand, and surrender...

Blessings

DEATH AND THE ETERNAL

Quote:

" When you walk through a forest that has not been tamed and interfered with by man, you will see not only abundant life all around you, but you will also encounter fallen trees and decaying trunks, rotting leaves and decomposing matter at every step.
Wherever you look, you will find death as well as life.

Upon closer scrutiny, however, you will discover that the decomposing tree trunk and rotting leaves not only give birth to new life, but are full of life themselves. Microorganisms are at work. Molecules are rearranging themselves.
So death isn't to be found anywhere. There is only the metamorphosis of life forms.
What can you learn from this?
Death is not the opposite of life. Life has no opposite.
The opposite of death is birth.

Life is eternal."

Eckhart Tolle "Stillness Speaks"

Shalom!

In our efforts to be human,

God does not leave us to fend for ourselves…

In community... communion...

May you be reminded that everything is possible...

Blessings

May you know that growth is a process,

that does not always go straight ahead...

and

May you follow the curves towards it...

Blessings

**Ann** · 08-05-2009, 03:40 AM

Love you, Pattee, for posting what brings me light every morning.

Today I will follow those curves, even though I can't see what is beyond them. Blind faith will light my path and walking with good people like you makes it such a nice journey.

May Grief be not an illness that requires a cure,

rather,

it be a call to embark on a journey of the soul...

Blessings

Walk...or trudge...thru the phases of grief..It will lead to acceptance

Rusty Zipper · 08-07-2009, 03:34 AM

Whether it is a prayer,

or a way just special to you...

May the different ways we carry our spirituality around with us,

bear witness to the sacredness of everyday life...

Blessings

IO Storm · 08-07-2009, 02:25 PM

TY

I needed this reminder today.

Rusty Zipper · 08-08-2009, 04:05 AM

Life is a song ... sing it.

Life is a game ... play it.

Life is a challenge ... meet it.

Life is a dream (Sha-Boom, Sha Boom)... realize it.

Life is a sacrifice ... offer it.

Life is love ...

May you enjoy it all...

Blessings

Even off-key is okay, yes?

Rusty Zipper · 08-09-2009, 01:17 AM

of course yes!

Rusty Zipper · 08-09-2009, 01:21 AM

May you look to this day, for it is life, the very life of life.

In its brief course lie all the realities and verities of existence.

The bliss of growth, the splendor of action, the glory of power.

And yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision.

But today, well lived!

Makes every yesterday, a dream of happiness,

and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

May you look well, therefore, to this day...

Blessings

Thank you & I'm still singing too.

God listens to the heart not the off key notes

Rusty Zipper · 08-10-2009, 04:31 AM

May the true meaning of charity,

be more then giving of what you are,

than of what you have...

Blessings

Fluttering · 08-10-2009, 08:52 AM

Giving from the heart has little to do with the wallet

IO Storm · 08-10-2009, 02:18 PM

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

St. Francis of Assisi

Rusty Zipper · 08-10-2009, 07:47 PM

always a favorite sis...

**Ann** · 08-11-2009, 03:04 AM

Amen, sister.

Rusty Zipper · 08-11-2009, 03:21 AM

May all dangers be averted and all disease be gone,

and courage grant you the strength to conquer fear and despair...

May you draw the boundary lines of your destiny...

Blessings

**Ann** · 08-11-2009, 03:30 AM

Faith is the antidote to fear...even blind faith
